During these events, he will be explaining his two bestseller books--  The Monk Who Transformed Uttar Pradesh and The Monk Who Became Chief Minister. According to Shantanu, as the election is approaching in the coming weeks, people are curious to know how a monk could be able to change the situation of a state which was once titled "bimaru rajya". As per the author, the incumbent Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has transformed the state in terms of development.

"Taking over as a surprise choice after the 2017 Assembly elections, in which the BJP and its allies romped home with a massive majority, Adityanath, who many dismissed initially as a ‘sanyasi’ who was inexperienced in matters of administration, has brought about a turn-around of UP, which is hard to believe, but difficult to dismiss as facts reveal the same," according to the statement published by Gupta during the book launch event.

"Bringing crime under control, rather sending shivers up the spine of many bahubalis, or priming Uttar Pradesh for industrial investment, Yogi Adityanath has transformed the state into a peaceful state, where people can move freely, and women feel safe. Checking other boxes like industrial investment, improving infrastructure, handling the corona epidemic, increasing health and transport infrastructure across districts and regions-like Purvanchal and Bundelkhand, or making the lives of common people and workers, who were too keen on migrating, easy and providing them jobs within the state," added the statement.
